"Kone med barn i amaut, ved Nuuk" is a woodcut by Rasmus Berthelsen, a Danish artist known for his depictions of Greenlandic life. Created between 1859 and 1860, the artwork portrays a woman in traditional Greenlandic clothing, an amaut, holding a child. The intricate detail of the clothing, including the fur trim and the intricate stitching, highlights the artist's attention to ethnographic accuracy. This small woodcut, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Greenlandic people in the mid-19th century.
